Scientist penguin anyone?
I cannot explain how precious this shot is to me it’s ridiculous
🥺
AWW!! They’re so ADORABLE!!! I love how Lotus uses it to hit Mikey once she got used to it lol!! It’s so funny how they already have a sibling relationship going. Raph’s angry taps I love. I know they probably annoy the crap out of him for making him look less menacing when angry. How do you do it @truths33k3r4? You are a true artist.
This is what happens when me and @allyheart707 are chatting about how adorable her turtles are with tails- It made me wonder....
..What would my SIW turtles look like? How would they react to having tails when they've lived their whole lives without them?
Hehehehehe chaos ensued quickly after~
Ok- Now that I'm done this little fun project, I can actually get back to writing the next chapter of SIW! See you guys later! :)
To God be the glory!

Chapter 6 Part 2
Raph stopped.
Usually he didn’t let anyone interrupt him during a fight. But this wasn’t usual. Donnie had never yelled at him like that before. Sure Raph got on his brothers nerves and got into loud arguments but not like this.
His purple branded brother had never let anyone see him so openly upset before. Not since they were like 9. Usually he would just stay in the tent and wait until he was fully collected to let anyone see him. The only person who ever got to see Dee like this was Mikey.
But Raph couldn’t think about that. That brought emotions and ‘mushy’ feelings and those made him look weak. They made him feel weak. And Raph wasn’t weak. He couldn’t be.
“Dee-” Of course Leo would change the entire subject in 2 seconds. He had the better traits of a big brother. The ones people respected. Raph was just stuck with being a bully.
“No! You guys are gonna make him upset again!” Tear tracks laid deep on his face. He looked so tired and his voice was so strained it was a miracle he wasn’t sobbing. His look shocked Raph just as much as the words and voice coming out of his mouth.
“Wait. Who?” Raph tried not to look concerned but his change of aggression was an obvious give.
“Mikey!”
Both Leo and Raph froze looking back and forth from each other. Confusion and utter disbelief crossed their faces.
“. . . Dee”
“All you ever do is fight! And everyone around you has to deal with it!”
“Donnie”
“You just keep on going on and on and”
“Donnie!”
“What?! What do you want me to do?! What do you want me to feel?!”
“Mikey isn’t here.”
The truth was well known but it still stung to have to hear it. Raph had to close his eyes and hide tears that burned at the tips of his eyelids. No Stop that It won’t help.
Donnie’s expression softened after realizing his mistake. He eyes shot to the ground, tears running down his face.
Everyone froze in the choking silence of their room. The sound of their dad doing the dishes was faint and seemed to slip further and further away. No one knew what to do.
Leo turned to Raph for guidance. Why did he do that sometimes? How was Raph supposed to know what to do? But somehow he always knew what Leo was thinking or tried to tell him. Even without words they knew each other too well.
Donnie was the first one to break the ice this time. “I-I mean-what I was trying to say was-” Hiccups interrupted his warbled speech. But the current youngest turtle was interrupted by the sound of Leo’s phone buzzing.
The blue turtle quickly answered eager to break the silence and awkwardness of the situation. “Hey April. This isn’t really the best time right now.”
“Have you guys seen the news?” She sounded so excited and enthusiastic that it contradicted the old vibe of the room.
“Nooooo.” Leo looked at his brothers in confusion. Donnie wiped his tears and leaned in closer to hear the conversation.
“Well you’re gonna wanna see this!”
April sent Leo a link as they remained on call. He opened the link to see the headline blaze into view in the news website’s signature animation.
SHIPPING DOCK SECURITY GUARDS AT EAST HARLEM FOUND WOUNDED BY MYSTERIOUS FOOT FIGURES
2 security guards are rushed to the hospital after being found with lethal wounds. The only clue police are left with is a piece of ripped fabric from the attackers’ clothing.
“Scroll down and look at the picture!”
Leo did as told and gasped at the sight before him. The picture was badly lit but the red circle containing the emblem of a foot was clearly seen on the dark clothing.
“Is that it?! Is that what the emblem from your attackers looked like?!”
They couldn’t believe how easily this had just appeared. It was both horrifying and relieving to find their first point in the right direction.
“Holy fucking-”
“Oh my-”
“Yes! Yes! It is! April you’re a genius!”
The turtle brothers celebration was brief as they got ready and geared up. Raph was rushed more than he usually did. Hold on Mikey. We’re coming.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pain.
What a great way to wake yourself with. Mikey didn’t even have the strength to open his eyes for a while. But that didn’t matter in their eyes. They just kept on asking question after question until they rendered him useless.
At this point it was a good thing Mikey wasn’t dead. But that wasn’t quite comforting enough to fight the pain. He assumed he had two black eyes again(Great yet another reminder of the whole super duper fly fight).
He couldn’t take it anymore. He had to at least see what was going on. It took effort and he definitely had 2 black eyes but he did it. It was dark only the moonlight lit the large room. It looked like one of the old abandoned warehouses him and his brothers used to explore before rendering them boring. Back when they weren’t allowed to be a part of civilization and were forced to live in the sewers.
He was sitting with his legs crossed. Partially hovering over the ground because of the chains that pressed into his skin and kept his arms and shell tightly bound to the pillar behind him. Sharp movements made his head spin and his face distort in pain that followed.
“Look who decided to wake up.”
Mikey craned his neck up to see his captor. It was the same one from last night. 2 other figures stood guard lurking around the now confirmed warehouse.
“Good mornin” Whenever a situation was unexpected, Mikey usually saw comedy as a good ice breaker.
“So the freak thinks it’s funny.” It was easier to see that the people of the room were leaning against or sitting on old tables.
“Is that a bad thing?” He was using that tone where he was trying to be polite but it always was seen as rude by his dad and adults. Mikey probably shouldn’t have kept talking but the teenager had a bad habit of rambling in these situations.
The main person who was talking- whom of which Mikey found to be an older teenage boy- was obviously not amused. His expression was very similar to the expression of the milk lady, dull and obviously stuck up in themselves yet also threatening. Looking like at any moment he would pounce.
“I mean isn’t like laughter the best medicine? So what’s so bad about being funny?” Mikey shuffled in his uncomfortable position. Hoping that for some reason his struggle would release him from the figurative and literal chains of this moment. But that only made the tight literal chains more and more unbearable as blisters formed. He needed to get out of here.
His thoughts were interrupted when on of the other figures delivered a sharp blow to his stomach causing him to double over. At least as much as his restraints allowed. It felt like his guts were flipped inside out and then hit with a speeding highway vehicle. The older teen then waltzed over as Mikey groaned and gagged. He yanked Mikey’s chin up firmly only letting the turtle look at him and him alone. His face was scrunched up in pure hate and disgust the turtle.
“Now you listen to me smartass. I-”
“Enough!”
Towards Mikey’s right a fourth figure leapt in through a broken window. At closer glance Mikey found that they were a she. Her raven black hair shone in the moonlight with white streaks with repelled the light. She stood tall with authority and grace. The other 2 guards addressed her by bowing.
“Lieutenant, what did I say about beating the target?”
The Lieutenant growled before shoving Mikey’s face down and turning to face the girl. “Come on he was being a brat. Besides aren’t there 3 oth-”
“What did I say?” Raising her voice made even the Lieutenant flinch. Mikey could tell she was definitely the boss here(definitely super badass). The Lieutenant glared at Mikey, as if he had intentionally caused this, before turning and bowing. “Not to. You told me not to beat the freak. I apologize General.”
He recognized her voice from somewhere. He realized where when she set her backpack on the table.
“Hey aren’t you Aprils new friend?! What was your name? Oroku something? What the heck Oroku?!”
She was definitely pissed now but she kept her dull tone and hid her annoyance. “First of all it’s Oroku Karai. Second of all it’s Japanese so the last name is said first. And third of all if you know what’s best for you than you will keep your mouth shut.”
Mikey decided that he would do just that. Karai was definitely not someone to be messed with. At least she won’t let them hit me anymore.
“And as for you Lieutenant” Karai turned and marched in front of him and the Mikey’s other captors. “Yes we do need his three accomplices thanks to your incompetent job on the initial attack. But how do you expect us to find them if they’re aware of our initiatives?”
Mikey sat there not liking the sound of how this was going. His head still swam and left his thoughts loosely floating in a sea of confusion. Accomplices?
Karai was obviously growing impatient by the silence. Another thing he noticed was that she never really looked at him. And when she did and Mikey noticed, it was never for more than a second.
“I spoke with Master Shredder. He said that to draw them out we must use something that they want.”
Mikey could hardly keep in the shock of his realization. They aren’t talking about my brothers, are they?
“Well what do they want?” The Lieutenant was obviously not as smart as his leader.
“From my understanding they call each other brothers.” Shit. She really was just a toxic snake wasn’t she. And she was good too. But for some reason her expression broke into something softer. Something filled with guilt and pain.
The Lieutenant however hadn’t given Mikey the mercy of guilt. His face twisted into a cruel smirk as he turned to face Mikey’s fear filled face. No no no no no no. This can’t be happening.
“Then lets test that brotherly loyalty.” The Lieutenant continued staring with a sickening smile that put gasoline on Mikey’s fire of fear. “When do we leave to get their attention?”
“Troops were already sent this afternoon.” Karai continued with a full expression on her face. “They’ll bring back the targets when their job is finished.”
No no no no no no no.
“Now if you excuse me I have . . . business to attend to.” She marched out from the warehouse arms plastered behind her back. Once she left the Lieutenant slip back into his freedom without Karai overhead.
Mikey was stuck in the shock his captors cruel plan. Leo Raph Donnie. Please.
He hung his head low in defeat knowing that soon his brothers would have to go through the same pain he did.
Please be ok.
Finally back to this au. Have a Hoppy Easter and Cowabunga turtle fans.

drop this sunflower🌻into the inboxes of the blogs that make you happy! lets spread a little sunshine ☀️ (No need to send to someone else, unless you want to. Just know you make me happy ^-^)
Aw thank you so much. I’m so happy I make people happy.
I have her storyline on the same post as Venus’s (right here). The reason why she has claws and markings on her plastron is because she is part pink bellied side neck turtle because her creator, Doctor Rockwell, didn’t have enough turtle dna from the mutagen and Venus’s dna alone so he had to improvise. This is what caused her to be albino and premature. Lita likes to put her mask tails into different styles so sometimes she has them tied back with beads or wears them down but she usually has them in a bow. Lita has a tutu cuz she loves dancing and wearing dresses. But even though she likes to get dolled up a lot, she sees the beauty in herself and others no matter what. One time the boys came home from school and saw her hugging a raccoon in arms like it was newborn puppy. Her bracelet on the bottom left corner is something she makes after meeting the boys and living with them. Speaking of which here is a list of nicknames she has for her family and her brothers and sister’s friends.(Keep in mind she is 7 and the best teacher for English she had growing up was an 8-15 year old)
Venus: Vee Vee
Leonardo: Leo, Nardo
Raphael: Raphie, Raphala
Donatello: Dee Dee, Don
Michelangelo: Micheal, Mikey
Splinter: Ba, Daddy(This is after she and Venus have moved into the turtles lair and joined the fam)
April: Apple(has red hair and green beanie(just realized it ain’t green sorry)=🍎)
Casey Jones: Bones(Their mask is a skull and they always get hurt)
Thats all ig. If you think of any other people let me know
(Well not new but still)I’m so happy!!🥳🐢💙❤️💜🧡
let’s see how many transphobics we can weed out
A month or so after the attack from Super Duper fly the turtles have finally started to get adjusted to their new life.They have friends, fun things to try, and best of all their family has their back. But when a new stream of crimes starts to hit the streets and enemies hide around every alley, the turtles may have to face the music and resume to fighting for their and possibly the entirety of mutantity’s survival. But this is different than last time.And when Mikey is kidnapped and they meet an assassin girl their age with ties to some of the nastiest crimes bosses in, possibly, the world things might not always seem as they appear.

Chapter 9 Part 2
Mikey was too scared to wake up. His head pounded like the Liberty Bell, with a crack just as big. Every part of his body ached. He didn’t want to go through any more of it. He hated the thought of seeing Leo go through it. He hated himself for not having the strength to go through it with him and he-
His hands were at his sides. The chains were gone.
Or at least they felt they were gone.
Oh God did he DIE?!
No. That couldn’t be it. He could still feel the pain of his very battered body. Sadly that was “good” sign that he was alive. He could feel his slow huffs of breathe and . . . a mattress? Blankets?
Where was he? Last he remembered he was talking to . . . Leo? Was he really home?
Man my head hurts.
Why was he thinking so slow? He wasn’t slow. He was the fastest of his brothers. He couldn’t be slow.
But was he home?
It felt like he had to summon every ounce of strength in his body for Mikey to open his eyes. They were all crusty and ached badly. Right. Bruised. Again.
The roof of a pipe was above him. To his left were dozens of wrestling and hockey posters as well as sticky notes (Wait he recognized that handwriting). To his right was . . . Raph?
There, right next to him, with his head buried in arms crossed over the edge of the mattress, was Raph. Mikey was home. The joy flooded through him so quickly he almost felt like crying. Don’t cry! Just say something.
“Ra-ngh.” Shell his head hurt so bad. Merely thinking made him want to puke. So he hissed and clicked in annoyance and pain.
But that was enough to get Raph’s attention. “Mike.” He sounded a little confused as he woke up. But laying his eyes on his awake brother replaced the tiredness with excitement in mere seconds. “Mikey!”
Before Mikey could respond, Raph pulled his little brother into one of his signature hugs. It felt so good. Mikey forgot how good this felt. He wrapped his arms around his older brother and nuzzled his snout as far as it could go into the embrace. He never wanted it to end.
. . . until he did.
Raph rested his head on top Mikey’s and the moment of joy ended. Mikey pulled back harshly as the agony of his injury returned. “Oh shit! Sorry I forgot you’re still healing.” Raph moved his hands to awkwardly pat him on the shoulder.
Mikey let short groan as he gripped the back of his head. A thick cap of bandages were wrapped securely on the back of his skull. As he brought his hands in front of him he sat that they were speckled with bandaids. “Wha happnd.”
Mikey’s slogging brain was starting to make him run short on patience. Man this headache SUCKS.
“Well when we got you back, it got a little . . . chaotic to say the least.” Raph started out slowly, rechecking over the bandages that Mikey know realized were his handy work. “At first Donnie wanted to get you two to the hospital but Leo just started panicking. Going on and on about those assholes finding you again and it not being safe. And it’s so annoying cause-”
“Wait. Us two? Is Leo ok?! Did the-”
“Don’t worry. He’s fine.” Raph repositioned himself so that Mikey could see the oldest in his bed. Sound asleep. Safe. “A little banged up and bruised but fine. He was just being-” Raph stopped and thought for a moment before continuing. “Difficult. About sleeping before you could wake up.”
Mikey immediately understood. Leo’s anxiety was pretty bad sometimes during normal days. After something like this . . . Mikey felt like part of him found even more understanding for that now.
“You know he can’t help it, right?” That was probably pretty stupid. Raph was his twin. Of course he would know. What Mikey meant was to make sure he understood.
There was a moment of silence before Raph responded.
“Yeah. Yeah I know. It’s just-he needed his rest just as much as you did.” Just as he said that Mikey started to sway, barely being caught by Raph. “Scratch that. As much as you do.”
“What! Come on. I just woke up.” Mikey scrunched up his face into a very not fussy frownie face. With his arms crossed over his chest, he firmly leaned further into his older brother. He might be grumpy but his still missed his brothers.
Speaking of he was missing one. “Where’s Donnie?”
Raph seemed to be done with his inspection of Mikey’s bandages. “He’s on the phone with April in the den. They’re trying to figure out more about the-um y’know. The guys who attacked us.”
Mikey’s face melted at the thought of those people. In fact his whole body melted into Raph. His hands moved rhythmaticly up and down his arms over the many bandaids on them. Why did they do all of this? Why did it hurt so bad? Why am I still so scared?
“But they’re gone right?” Mikey could barely make out the sound of his own voice. He felt his throat close.
Suddenly his heart started pounding in his ears. The panic and shock smacked into his body. He could feel himself trembling as he squeezed his arms. His breathing was so quick and short it felt like it wasn’t there.
Air started fleeing from his grasp only to he replaced by a feeling of dread. It felt like the gentlest touch could break that glass cage he was in. Sending the broken shards into him.
“Mikey.”
Mikey yelped at the sudden sound. His body popped into his shell so fast Raph had to catch it before it fell. Keep it together. Stop falling apart. Why am I falling apart? It’s over now. Stop being so stupid.
The flashes of pain from his injuries in the usually secure space did nothing to help his panic. His breath was still way too quick. Everything was scream at him that he had to run. To hide. To-
Mikey felt a soft hand rubbing the top of his shell.
“It’s ok Mike. They’re all gone now. No one’s gonna hurt you.” Raph took a break, stopping his hand to rest on Mikey’s shell. “I’ll never let them do that to you again.”
Mikey popped his head back out of his shell. His other limbs followed in suit as he turned to Raph. “Really?”
Raph’s face morphed into his casual smugness. “Hell yeah. None of us will.”
Much to Mikey’s surprise he started laughing. “Man that was so corny.”
“Not half as corny as Leo though.”
Mikey couldn’t help the giggles that erupted. “No offense but I feel like that’s impossible.”
Raph joined in his laughter before a very groggy groan sounded from the other side of the room. “I have the subtle feeling that I have just been insulted.”
“Leo!”
“Mikey? Oh my god! Mikey!”
Leo seemed to speed across the room like his life depended on it. Mikey almost fell backwards by how hard his big brother slammed into him, wrapping him in a warm embrace. He squeezed back mindful of his injuries and the bruises on Leo’s arms. He felt tears slip from the corners of his eyes, while Leo’s landed on his head. “Thank God you’re ok.” His big brother whispered.
Mikey leaned further into the hug. “You too.” He whispered back.
After a few moments, heavy footsteps could be heard walking in from the den. The curtain opened to reveal a very groggy Donnie. Glasses croaked and coffee(that he probably shouldn’t have been having) in hand. “Guys. Try not to be so loud. We don’t wanna wake up Mi-”
“Hi Dee!” Mikey felt his full smile spread across his face for what felt like the first time in ages. It felt soo good.
The mug fell it the floor with a clunk. And suddenly Donnie was koala bear hugging Mikey. His immediate older brother’s shoulders rose and fell stiffly. Mumbles were muffled in the tight embrace but Mikey understood perfectly. “Missed you too Dee.”
Leo and Raph joined in and Mikey could finally enjoy the moment that he oh so desperately needed. Had it really only been- wait how long had it been? Whatever. He chose to ignore those thoughts and enjoy the moment. Answers would come in a bit.
Happiness like this needed to be cherished now.
After a while Donnie was the one to break the silence with his many many many questions. “How are you feeling? Do you feel warm? Cold maybe? Do you remember what happened? How many fingers am I holding up? When’s our birthday? Are you comfy?”
“Wow. Wait to ruin the moment Dee.” Mikey spoke through the hands smushing his cheeks.
“Sorry! It’s just-”
Mikey gave his brothers shell firm pats. “I know Dee. Don’t worry. I’m ok now.”
He truly was ok now that he was with his family. Well at least some of his family. “Where’s Dad?”
“Oh he went to a few stores with Scumbug.” Leo said rubbing the back of his neck. “They wanted to get you some medicine and stuff. It’s actually kinda good that he’s not here because he’s started acting a little different.”
Raph snorted. “Different is one way to say it.” Donnie broke into held back giggles whilst Mikey was non the wiser to whatever this whole situation was.
“What? What is he doing?”
Donnie took a break from his giggles for a moment. “He’s started speaking in Vermin for Scumbug.”
Mikey thought for a moment. Wait Vermin? As in- OH MI GOSH!
Mikey let out a short burst of laughter. “Whhahut?”
“You heard the turtle.” Raph chimed in wrapping arm around the younger’s shoulders. “Dad’s gone so head over heels for Scumbug that he’s speaking in clicks and squeaks.”
“Hey. I think it’s kind of endearing.” Donnie said.
“Says the guy whose best tutor in dating is Avatar the Last Airbender.”
Mikey laughed at his brothers’ antics as Donnie flicked Raph in the snout. A yawn escaped from the smallest turtle. And of course Leo immediately kicked into big brother mode. “Come on you two knock it off. Mikey needs his rest.”
“What?! I just woke up!”
“Yeah but your body is still healing.”
Raph chimed in. “Look in the mirror, Leo. So are you.”
That shut Leo up pretty quick. Raph was right judging by the bruises that covered the oldest, but they weren’t the only ones in need of some good RnR.
Raph had some pretty ghastly bags under his eyes and Donnie looked he just pulled 3 all-nighters in a row(Mikey should know since he was the only one who found out that he did it before). The youngest pondered on the situation for a moment before finding the perfect solution.
“Turtle pile?”
Leo and Donnie looked up in surprise before turning to their red cross, Raph. The fiery brother thought it over before answering(a rare move for the turtle). “As long as he’s on top and we’re mindful of his head then I’m down.”
“Diddo.” Donnie responded.
Soon enough they were all in their respective spots. Other than Leo and Mikey of course who got the rare luxury of the top. Donnie begrudgingly agreed to do the middle only because he didn’t want bottom, which was always Raph’s spot due to his size anyway. The youngest was safely tucked under Leo’s out stretched arm.
Whoever made this happen, thank you. Thank you so so much.

FINALLY!!! THE FLUFF!!! Sorry for this being a tad bit long and dragged out but I’m saving the next to parts for a certain queen. Not gonna lie this chapter took a turn throughout the time I was writing it but I’m happy with how it turned out. Hope y’all like it(even though this is ending like a month too late).
Cowabunga turtle fanz!
TOTTMNT/Tmnt MM Autism and ADHD Headcannons
(just the four main turtles for right now until we get more screen time for other characters)
Leo: Autism
Raph: has a few symptoms but neither
Donnie: Autism
Mikey: ADHD
Leo and Donnie use sign language when they are overwhelmed/ over-stimulated
Raph, Mikey, and Splinter understand sign but don’t use it
Donnie and Leo sign to each other when this happens to one of them or as just a friendly reminder that they’re there for each other
Splinter had to find the right kind of fabric texture for Donnie and Leo as to not make them uncomfortable (thanks @renisrandom for that idea)
Just a random late night post about these goobers and TSL(which needs to be cannon in some version of Tmnt(I do not care which one just give it to me)). Could someone please tell me when and where Rise!Donnie signs cause I have absolutely no idea where to find that clip.
